the obama administration has been keen to reform the nation's export control structure to boost exports as it curbs domestic military spending but getting that through a recalcitrant congress has been challenging. critics fear american technology into the wrong hands. that's a valid concern but blocking sales and strangling america's space industry is an even bigger threat. if you are not selling anything you are not controlling anything, either. working together republicans and democrats solved this problem. they should continue the system and tackle the nation's other problems. thanks for joining us for "this week in defense news." i'm vago muradian. you can watch on-line it at defensenewstv.com. before we go i would like to wish everybody a very happy new year. i'll be back next year at the same time. until then, have a great week. >>> patient centered research, is it more than a slogan. patient leaders rate their progress. i'm steve usdin. welcome to "biocentury this week." >>> your trusted source for biotechnology information and analysis, "biocentury this week." >>> it has blazed

. >> the administration, obama administration has made it a signature feature to reduce the size of the u.s. nuclear arsenal. up to 1,000 there's talk of 1,000 operational warheads. you know more about this than almost anybody else in -- in the united states. is that a good idea and are you going to a safer world with fewer nuclear weapons in it from the standpoint of the united states? >> yes. definitely yes. in fact, in 1977, when i first became secretary of defense, we prepared in the department of defense a plan for a nuclear arsenal of 1,000 nuclear weapons ready nuclear weapons. for us and the soviets. and wanted to submit it to the strategic arms limitation talks but the soviets rejected it out of hand before it was made. so 1,000 would have been good then. it's good now. and maybe even we could go down below that. although there are now other countries with weapons in the hundreds aside from the u.s. and russia. and they would have to be included which is a complication. >> i want to take you to the question of strategy and strategy formulation. there are those who say that the

house republicans do not trust barack obama. they just don't trust him. you mentioned the debt ceiling, they don't think he's negotiating in good faith on the fiscal cliff. so they just didn't touch speaker boehner when he went into these closed door meetings. and that kind of lack of trust, i think, was reflected in the fact that he couldn't get the 218 votes that he needed yesterday. but when i talked to him today, we kept in tact our virginity. we didn't vote for a tax increase. and that, i think, is the most important thing in terms of the brand of the republican party. the republican party has got to be an anti-tax party. >> i think the contrary would be that the brand has become one of obs innocence. he's met them half way on taxes and spending. but i think that's what the rest of the country wants to hear. they're sick and tired of the polarization. >> well, i think that's right. and, look, i do disagree with the characterization of president obama's compromise on spending cuts. there have been none. and i think that's a big problem when you have a
